The '''Hall of Fire''' was a large room in [[Elrond]]'s house in [[Rivendell]]. Between carven pillars in a great hearth a fire was always kept lit, with little other light present.

In {{TA|2941}}<ref>{{App|TA}}</ref> when [[Thorin and Company]] stayed in Rivendell for weeks, [[Bilbo Baggins]] undoubtedly visited the Hall of Fire, for in his telling of his adventures he mentioned hearing many songs and tales, and found that the house was perfect for just sitting and thinking.<ref>{{H|Rest}}</ref> These words are very close to the description of the hall that [[Gandalf]] gave [[Frodo Baggins]] as they approached the hall together<ref name="Meetings">{{FR|II1}}</ref> on [[24 October]] {{TA|3018}}.<ref name="Great">{{App|Great}}</ref>

On that evening after the feast celebrating Frodo's recovery, Elrond and [[Arwen]] led their guests to the Hall of Fire. It was in this room that Frodo found Bilbo, seemingly asleep, but actually composing the [[Song of Eärendil]]. It was also here that Bilbo asked to see the [[One Ring|Ring]] and was saddened to see Frodo's negative reaction. The two hobbits then enjoyed talking about [[the Shire]] until [[Aragorn]] came and helped Bilbo polish his poem. When Bilbo recited the poem to the crowd [[Lindir]] could not tell which parts Bilbo had written and which Aragorn had composed.

The Hall of Fire was a large room in Elrond's house in Rivendell. Between carven pillars in a great hearth a fire was always kept lit, with little other light present. While the hall stood empty during most days, at night it was given over to the telling of tales and singing of songs.

On that evening after the feast celebrating Frodo's recovery, Elrond and Arwen led their guests to the Hall of Fire. It was in this room that Frodo found Bilbo, seemingly asleep, but actually composing the Song of Eärendil. It was also here that Bilbo asked to see the Ring and was saddened to see Frodo's negative reaction. The two hobbits then enjoyed talking about the Shire until Aragorn came and helped Bilbo polish his poem. When Bilbo recited the poem to the crowd Lindir could not tell which parts Bilbo had written and which Aragorn had composed. Later, when Bilbo and Frodo left, they heard the song, A Elbereth Gilthoniel.[3]

When Samwise Gamgee battled Shelob on 13 MarchT.A.3019[4] he recalled the song to
Elbereth that he heard in his sleep in the Hall of Fire. He sang this song and it bolstered his courage, such that he could face down the great spider and force her retreat.[5]
